Welcome to BEEP, digital hive inspection + automatic monitoring

What is Beep?

BEEP supports beekeepers in taking care of bee colonies. Beekeepers’ observations can be digitally registered using a record keeping app, complemented by automatic observations using sensors. Beekeepers can better support the health of bee colonies and react swiftly when conditions worsen.

Why this app?

BEEP is an online system for beekeepers launched on July 14th 2017. It can replace paper-based record keeping. Because it is a digital system, it allows for new possibilities such as managing and consulting the data on the bee colonies from any location and device. The BEEP webapp can be accessed from any device with an internet browser such as your mobile phone, tablet or desktop computer. The platform has the same features on all devices and the data is the same everywhere. Fundamentally a manual record keeping app, it will also be possible to use automatically measuered data, such as the weight of a hive, using sensors with the app. And the BEEP app will be further enhanced and extended based on your feedback.

Goals

To modernise beekeeping practices:

Beekeepers have more detailed and timely information on the status of the colonies they take care of contributing to data driven decision making

Information exchange and collaboration between beekeepers

Inspire and assist new beekeepers

Contribute to the conservation of our nature by helping more bees to survive
